Ex-president expected to face arraignment on Tuesday; New York police warned they may face aunusual disordera
The indictment of Donald Trump has profound implications for the Republican race for the nomination for next yearas presidential election. As Jill Colvin writes for Associated Press, it is likely to force his potential rivals into the awkward position of having to defend him a or risk the wrath of Trumpas support base.
Polls show Trump remains the undisputed frontrunner for the Republican nomination, and his standing has not faltered, even amid widespread reporting on the expected charges.
The move was especially stunning given Trumpas long record of impunity, which has seen him constantly stretch the limits of the law and the conventions of accepted behaviour with his uproarious personal, business and political careers. Suddenly, Trumpas decades of evading accountability will end. The former president will have to start answering for his conduct.
The perception of this extraordinary case will turn on two questions fundamental to the credibility of American justice: Are all citizens a even the most powerful, like former presidents and White House candidates a considered equal under the law? Or is Trump being singled out because of who he is?
50 years after federal officials first accused Trump and his father of violating laws that barred racial discrimination in apartment rentals, the former president has been indicted. The indictment in the Daniels case comes amid an Atlanta-area investigation into Trumpas role in seeking to overturn the 2020 election results in Georgia, and a special counselas federal investigations into Trumpas actions leading up to the 6 January riot at the Capitol, as well as his handling of classified documents at Mar-a-Lago.
Already, Trumpas statements about the Daniels case have followed a pattern he set in 1973, when federal prosecutors accused Trump and his father, Fred, a prominent New York City apartment developer, of turning away Black people who wanted to rent from them. In that case, Trump first denied the allegation, then said he didnat know his actions were illegal, and then, through his lawyer, accused the government of conducting a bogus aGestapo-like investigation.a

Trump has followed a pattern since 2016 a the bigger the alleged crime, the louder he airs grievances and claims heas being persecuted
Comedian Chris Rock gazed out at the audience at an awards ceremony in Washington earlier this month. aAre you guys really going to arrest Trump?a he asked bluntly. aThis is only going to make him more popular!a
Donald Trump has not yet been arrested but is now the first person to occupy the Oval Office to then be charged with a crime. It also raises the prospect of the Republican favorite for the 2024 presidential race to be running for the White House while also being criminally prosecuted a something likely to bring even more chaos to Americaas already deeply fractured political landscape.

In the topsy-turvy world he has created, criminal charges against the former president may be just the boost he needs
aI actually donat even know why I did it,a porn star Stormy Daniels once reflected of the atextbook generica sex she claimed to have had with Donald Trump after some cursed-sounding Nevada golf tournament. aBut I do remember while we were having sex I was like: aPlease donat try to pay me.aa
Well, quite. If ONLY Trump had stuck to the non-payment he presumably agreed in the heat of passion in that Lake Tahoe hotel room in 2006, instead of allegedly getting his lawyer to hand hush money to Daniels when he was running for president a decade later. He is now facing an estimated 34 charges of falsification of business records, believed to relate to payments to both Stormy and the former Playboy model Karen McDougal. As the former president once observed, vaginas are apotential landmines a| Thereas some real danger there.a

- All England Club and the LTA reverse decision on bans
- Players will be required to sign neutrality agreements
Russian and Belarusian players will be allowed to compete at Wimbledon and the British grass-court tournaments this year after the All England Club (AELTC) and the LTA jointly opted to reverse their bans on players for this seasonas events.
After being banned from competing at all British tour-level events in 2022, this year Russian and Belarusian players will be required to sign neutrality agreements, which prohibit them from expressing support for Russiaas invasion of Ukraine, receiving funding from the Russian or Belarusian state and being sponsored by organisations funded by their governments. Players will not be required to express criticism of their governments.

Average UK house prices fell 3.1% in year to March, Nationwide reports, while energy costs are now falling in the eurozone
The UK housing market may remain weak in the coming months.
Nationwideas chief economist, Robert Gardner, says:
aIt will be hard for the market to regain much momentum in the near term since consumer confidence remains weak and household budgets remain under pressure from high inflation.
Housing affordability also remains stretched, where mortgage rates remain well above the lows prevailing at this point last year.
aMarch saw a further decline in annual house price growth, with prices down 3.1% compared with the same month last year. March also saw a further monthly price fall (-0.8%) a the seventh in a row a which leaves prices 4.6% below their August peak (after taking account of seasonal effects).
aThe housing market reached a turning point last year as a result of the financial market turbulence which followed the mini-Budget. Since then, activity has remained subdued a the number of mortgages approved for house purchase remained weak at 43,500 cases in February, almost 40% below the level prevailing a year ago.

The UK government has announced a APS57m funding package to support Northern Ireland charities and community organisations facing a financial crisis due to a loss of European money, PA Media reports. PA says:
Eighteen projects across the region will receive backing through the UK shared prosperity fund (UKSPF) with a focus on groups helping support people into work.
The announcement comes just a day before financial support provided by the European social fund (ESF) comes to an end due as a consequence of Brexit. Some charities in Northern Ireland had warned they would have to cut staff and support programmes if funding was not replaced.

ACC Liverpool admits long queues at M&S Bank Arena led to problems for people coming to Jamie Webster gig
Crowd congestion at the Liverpool venue due to host the Eurovision song contest later this year was not acceptable, its operator has reportedly admitted.
ACC Liverpool, which runs the M&S Bank Arena in the city, acknowledged that people had been left in extremely long queues for the bars and toilets, which in turn caused problems for people trying to get into the venue for the sold-out Jamie Webster concert. The congestion got so bad that some fans complained one area felt unsafe, the BBC reported.

Tests show recycled concrete could safely be used in new buildings in war- and quake-stricken country
Concrete rubble from destroyed buildings in Syria can be safely recycled into new concrete, scientists have shown, which will make the rebuilding of the war-hit country faster, cheaper and greener.
Syria, which was also hit by a huge earthquake in February, has a vast amount of concrete rubble, estimated at 40m tonnes. The key barrier to recycling this waste is ensuring that the new concrete is as strong and safe as conventional concrete.

The cityas image of protest and rebellion obscures its links to slavery. But there is a push to acknowledge the Black radicalism in its past
On a sunny June evening last year, members of the Manchester Literary and Philosophical Society filed slowly into the Friendsa Meeting House, just off St Peteras Square. When the neat white building tucked behind Manchester Central Library was built in the 1820s, it became the base for the Quakers who led the abolitionist movement in the city. Now, in the same hall almost 200 years later, the second oldest learned society in the world gathered to examine its own links to transatlantic slavery.
Images of mills flashed up on a projector screen as the academic Alan Rice described how cotton powered Manchesteras transformation into a booming industrial metropolis. aIf youare in the business of cotton in the 18th and 19th century, youare connected very deeply to the slavery business,a Rice, who runs the Institute for Black Atlantic Research at the University of Central Lancashire, told the audience. His next slide featured portraits of three of Manchesteras most prominent 19th-century industrialists: Samuel Greg, George Hibbert and Sir George Philips. Greg and Hibbert campaigned to preserve slavery and all three aowneda enslaved people (Philips, whose contemporaries dubbed him aKing Cottona, was among the first funders of the Guardian). They were also members of the Lit and Phil a like many prominent Manchester men of this era, who gathered at the society for lectures on science and the arts. A number of the cityas leading abolitionists, such as the physician John Ferriar and the clockmaker Peter Clare, were also members.

The empire was built with the labour of my enslaved ancestors. Money can only ever begin to make amends for that
In countries touched by European colonialism, the subjects of enslavement and reparations suddenly seem to be on the agenda. This week, the Guardian stepped forward to publish its thorough investigation into the publicationas beginnings in, and connections with, slavery. In February, the former BBC journalist Laura Trevelyan travelled to Grenada to apologise for her family having owned 1,000 enslaved Africans there, and donate APS100,000 to establish education projects on the island. The Dutch king recently welcomed his prime ministeras apology for the Netherlandsa role in 250 years of slavery a even if that carefully avoided a direct apology from his throne and the inevitable repercussions. At last, these conversations are being had.
Reactions around the world to these declarations have been varied. Any outrage that there might have been about the Dutch announcement was smoothed over by the royal familyas visit to their Caribbean islands. Queen Maxima dancing with locals was a celebrity show as effective in demonstrating an enlightened, non-racist attitude to their colonial family as Prince Harryas two-step years ago with Rita Marleyas dancers in Trenchtown.

Support for the European Union is strong a even in post-Brexit Britain. Can it come through its external battles, too?
Itas springtime in Brussels and the European Union has a spring in its step. Its leaders and institutions have been galvanised by the war in Ukraine. aThe war has reminded us what Europe is really about,a people kept telling me on a recent visit to the EUas capital.
Thereas a popular theory that says European integration advances through crises. The truth is that sometimes it does and sometimes it doesnat. Youad have to be a starry-eyed Euro-optimist, for example, to claim that European unity was really advanced by the 2015-16 refugee crisis.

Toba was so slick and distinctly fancy I feared the food would be an afterthought. I was wrong
St Jamesas Market, where Toba has set up shop, is absolutely nobodyas favourite place to dine out, despite millions being spent on this freshly burrowed concrete and steel crevice just off Regent Street in a bid to turn it into a retail/working/dining utopia. aWhether youare after a bottomless brunch, a steaming cup of tea, or a Michelin-starred meal, this hub of contemporary dining can accommodate,a says the brochure for this market, which isnat remotely a market because surely that would contain at least one stall selling onions or jam or, well, anything.
Yet, the standard of restaurants that St Jamesas continues to attract is impressive. Ikoyi thrived there for a time, and when I lunched at Toba I noted that there wasnat a seat to be had in Fallow, Aquavit, or Ole & Steen (which is basically Greggs for middle-class people who have finished all three seasons of The Killing). Toba, a new Indonesian restaurant by Pino Edward Sinaga, has now taken over Ikoyias spot, serving food inspired by his late mother. His Camden Market street food stall, Pinoas Warung, has been hugely successful; go for the nasi goreng, gado-gado, meatballs and satay, but enquire about the specials because bebek penyet (crisp seasoned duck leg on a bed of yellow rice with spiced grated coconut) and kecombrang sambal is often on offer.

And you probably will. But Dinant is also a town for adventure with plenty of hiking and several ziplines. You can take an electric boat out on the Meuse itself, or better still, kayak the Lesse tributary, passing under weeping willows and over rapids. The chateau above at Walzin is screensaver material. Pick one of the many riverside restaurants to put those calories back on with a local Leffe beer and fries (with mayo).

Jens Meureras film, beautifully shot in the summer of 2019 in Cromer on the Norfolk coast, is refreshingly free of cynicism
German filmmaker Jens Meurer has had a huge success in his native land with this vivid and richly affectionate anglophile documentary. I think I can see why, and it could even turn into a German national TV tradition a like Dinner for One, the English-language drawing room comedy sketch that the Germans love watching at Christmas. Could it be that a German documentary about an English seaside town will show us all the way ahead, and heal the psychic wounds of Brexit?
Seaside Special is all about Cromer on the north Norfolk coast in the distant summer of 2019 a and mostly about all the local people preparing to take part in the annual end-of-the-pier show, the last of its kind in the UK, or for that matter the world. This theatrical event itself looks like a terrifically enjoyable variety gang show: with naughty gags, brassy musical numbers, Hollywood homages and pop songs. It is a bit like the BBCas 70s programme Seaside Special (does Meurer really know about that?) or the old kidsa TV show Crackerjack.

The former Labour leaderas appeal was his personality, but with the country on the rocks voters may overlook Starmeras lack of charisma
Tony Blairas triumphant time as opposition leader was more than 25 years and several political eras ago. But it still casts a huge shadow over our politics. Tories fear a repeat of the 1997 election. Pollsters try to work out whether such a rare and pivotal event could soon happen again. Centre-left voters of a certain age remember the mid-90s as a time of steadily growing hope and then pure elation, before Labour politics gradually went back to its usual divisions and disappointments.
But perhaps the people most fixated by Blair are Keir Starmer and his inner circle. In his use of former Blair speechwriters such as Philip Collins and Peter Hyman; of old Blair lines such as aLabour is on your sidea; former New Labour ministers as advisers, including Blair himself; New Labour-style focus groups and charm offensives towards business; revived Blairite policies such as the asbo; and former New Labour strategists, spin doctors, party bureaucrats, fundraisers and donors. In all these ways, Starmeras leadership often feels like a tribute to a form of politics many voters under 40 wonat even remember.

This isnat the Trump indictment we wanted, but it might be the one we deserve
Stormy Daniels didnat seem to know what she had. In 2011, when The Apprentice was still getting decent ratings and Trump had drawn attention to himself for racist claims about the birthplace of Barack Obama, Daniels a also known as Stephanie Clifford a started asking around to see who she could sell her story to. Daniels, for years a successful porn performer, had met Donald Trump at a celebrity golf tournament in 2006. According to her, he invited her to his hotel room, offered her work on his TV show and then had sex with her. The two remained friendly afterwards; Trump invited Daniels to the launch of his Trump Vodka brand the following year. Itas the kind of thing you suspect that these two people would have written off as a funny story. Instead, itas the impetus for one of the most politically volatile prosecutions in the nationas history: the first criminal indictment of a former president, which was issued on Thursday by a federal grand jury in New York.
Stormy Daniels and the illegal, fraudulent machinations that the Trump campaign allegedly undertook to pay her off during the height of the presidential campaign in 2016 have always struck me as the most quintessential of Trumpas many scandals. Trump denies Danielsa allegations, but in retrospect, with the hindsight of what weave come to learn of him, the scene she recounts is almost unbearably true to his character: the gathering of low-rent celebrities, the paltry quid pro quo offer, the golf and the sad, adolescent fantasy of sex with a porn star. The whole story drips with Trumpas defining attribute: the desperate and insatiable need to have his ego gratified. Which is why to me, at least, it seems obvious that Daniels is telling the truth.

Harry Kane is in a similar position to [Marcus] Rashford. He is an outsider for the award but he has broken the goalscoring records for Tottenham and England this season so never say never. Kane is Haalandas main competitor for the Golden Boot, having scored 21 times for Spurs.
Haaland has a seven-goal lead in that battle but Kane is playing in a team plagued by uncertainty.

In the years after, OaGrady became a household name, known for his political and animal rights activism as well as his warmth and quick wit.

My earliest reading memory

My mother had taught me to identify some words before I started school but it was in the classroom, in one of the areadersa that had bored young Hilary senseless, that letters and spaces and full stops left the page as code and reassembled in my head to make a story.

Ex-president expected to face arraignment on Tuesday; New York police warned they may face aunusual disordera
The indictment of Donald Trump has profound implications for the Republican race for the nomination for next yearas presidential election. As Jill Colvin writes for Associated Press, it is likely to force his potential rivals into the awkward position of having to defend him a or risk the wrath of Trumpas support base.
Polls show Trump remains the undisputed frontrunner for the Republican nomination, and his standing has not faltered, even amid widespread reporting on the expected charges.
The move was especially stunning given Trumpas long record of impunity, which has seen him constantly stretch the limits of the law and the conventions of accepted behaviour with his uproarious personal, business and political careers. Suddenly, Trumpas decades of evading accountability will end. The former president will have to start answering for his conduct.
The perception of this extraordinary case will turn on two questions fundamental to the credibility of American justice: Are all citizens a even the most powerful, like former presidents and White House candidates a considered equal under the law? Or is Trump being singled out because of who he is?
50 years after federal officials first accused Trump and his father of violating laws that barred racial discrimination in apartment rentals, the former president has been indicted. The indictment in the Daniels case comes amid an Atlanta-area investigation into Trumpas role in seeking to overturn the 2020 election results in Georgia, and a special counselas federal investigations into Trumpas actions leading up to the 6 January riot at the Capitol, as well as his handling of classified documents at Mar-a-Lago.
Already, Trumpas statements about the Daniels case have followed a pattern he set in 1973, when federal prosecutors accused Trump and his father, Fred, a prominent New York City apartment developer, of turning away Black people who wanted to rent from them. In that case, Trump first denied the allegation, then said he didnat know his actions were illegal, and then, through his lawyer, accused the government of conducting a bogus aGestapo-like investigation.a

Comedian Chris Rock gazed out at the audience at an awards ceremony in Washington earlier this month. aAre you guys really going to arrest Trump?a he asked bluntly. aThis is only going to make him more popular!a
Donald Trump has not yet been arrested but is now the first person to occupy the Oval Office to then be charged with a crime. It also raises the prospect of the Republican favorite for the 2024 presidential race to be running for the White House while also being criminally prosecuted a something likely to bring even more chaos to Americaas already deeply fractured political landscape.

The cityas image of protest and rebellion obscures its links to slavery. But there is a push to acknowledge the Black radicalism in its past
On a sunny June evening last year, members of the Manchester Literary and Philosophical Society filed slowly into the Friendsa Meeting House, just off St Peteras Square. When the neat white building tucked behind Manchester Central Library was built in the 1820s, it became the base for the Quakers who led the abolitionist movement in the city. Now, in the same hall almost 200 years later, the second oldest learned society in the world gathered to examine its own links to transatlantic slavery.
Images of mills flashed up on a projector screen as the academic Alan Rice described how cotton powered Manchesteras transformation into a booming industrial metropolis. aIf youare in the business of cotton in the 18th and 19th century, youare connected very deeply to the slavery business,a Rice, who runs the Institute for Black Atlantic Research at the University of Central Lancashire, told the audience. His next slide featured portraits of three of Manchesteras most prominent 19th-century industrialists: Samuel Greg, George Hibbert and Sir George Philips. Greg and Hibbert campaigned to preserve slavery and all three aowneda enslaved people (Philips, whose contemporaries dubbed him aKing Cottona, was among the first funders of the Guardian). They were also members of the Lit and Phil a like many prominent Manchester men of this era, who gathered at the society for lectures on science and the arts. A number of the cityas leading abolitionists, such as the physician John Ferriar and the clockmaker Peter Clare, were also members.

Stakes are high as these judges often have the last word on major policy decisions in their states, from reproductive rights to voting policy and redistricting.
While the 4 April Wisconsin race is technically non-partisan, the two candidates have not shied away from taking positions on policies that align with political parties. The Democratic party has spent heavily on liberal candidate Janet Protasiewicz, while conservative candidate Dan Kelly has the backing of Republicans and top conservative donors.
The race is already the most expensive state supreme court election in US history, with over $37m in spending. The unprecedented spending and political debate begs the question of why partisan groups are permitted to get involved in the selection of supposedly nonpartisan judges, and why judges are directly elected at all?

This isnat the Trump indictment we wanted, but it might be the one we deserve
Stormy Daniels didnat seem to know what she had. In 2011, when The Apprentice was still getting decent ratings and Trump had drawn attention to himself for racist claims about the birthplace of Barack Obama, Daniels a also known as Stephanie Clifford a started asking around to see who she could sell her story to. Daniels, for years a successful porn performer, had met Donald Trump at a celebrity golf tournament in 2006. According to her, he invited her to his hotel room, offered her work on his TV show and then had sex with her. The two remained friendly afterwards; Trump invited Daniels to the launch of his Trump Vodka brand the following year. Itas the kind of thing you suspect that these two people would have written off as a funny story. Instead, itas the impetus for one of the most politically volatile prosecutions in the nationas history: the first criminal indictment of a former president, which was issued on Thursday by a federal grand jury in New York.
Stormy Daniels and the illegal, fraudulent machinations that the Trump campaign allegedly undertook to pay her off during the height of the presidential campaign in 2016 have always struck me as the most quintessential of Trumpas many scandals. Trump denies Danielsa allegations, but in retrospect, with the hindsight of what weave come to learn of him, the scene she recounts is almost unbearably true to his character: the gathering of low-rent celebrities, the paltry quid pro quo offer, the golf and the sad, adolescent fantasy of sex with a porn star. The whole story drips with Trumpas defining attribute: the desperate and insatiable need to have his ego gratified. Which is why to me, at least, it seems obvious that Daniels is telling the truth.

When I was secretary of labor 30 years ago, one major goal was to crack down on companies that employed children, in violation of the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938. I remember being horrified to discover that even in the early 1990s, children who should have been in school were working, often in dangerous jobs.
We made progress. Child labor declined in the United States. But it was a hard slog. By law, the highest fines I could levy against companies that put children to work were relatively small. Some firms treated them as costs of business.

Republicans are seeking to restrict women and girlsa right to travel by criminalizing friends and family who would help them
Idaho Republicans are seeking to restrict women and girlsa right to travel. Less than a year ago, the state banned abortion with a trigger law that went into effect after the supreme court overturned the abortion right in Dobbs v Jackson Womenas Health. Now, Idaho is looking to stop young women from travelling out of state for their procedures a and to criminalize those that help them. A bill that sailed through the stateas house of representatives and advanced in the state senate last week would make it a crime to transport a minor for the purposes of obtaining an abortion without the consent of her parents. The bill creates a new felony crime, so-called aabortion traffickinga, thatas punishable by two to five years in prison.
The bill would criminalize an aunt or grandmother who drives a teenage girl over the border for a legal abortion in Oregon. It would make a felon of the school friend who lends her money for a bus ticket, or the older sister who takes her to the post office to pick up a package with secretly mailed pills. The legislation also contains a provision giving the Idaho attorney general the ability to override the jurisdiction of local prosecutors on this charge a so if a local DA doesnat want to prosecute those who help scared and desperate teenagers, the state can enforce its sadism anyway.

An attempt to force through an increase in the state pension age brought thousands of protesters out on to the streets and has left Emmanuel Macron facing his biggest crisis yet
When Emmanuel Macron was re-elected as Franceas president last year, it was with a promise to bring in economic reforms after the damage done by Covid and what he believed was decades of failure to modernise. His platform was enough to defeat the far-right candidate, Marine Le Pen, but she gained ground and a strong showing in the parliamentary election was enough to help deprive him of a working majority in the national assembly.
As the Guardianas Paris correspondent, Angelique Chrisafis, tells Michael Safi, the French are no strangers to large-scale public protests, but the size and scale of the reaction to a planned increase in the retirement age has caught Macron off-guard. This week he was forced to cancel a state visit from King Charles, and police have been using increasing force to quell the protests in cities across the country.

A slew of new movies celebrate the boardroom mavericks of the 1980s and 90s a as well as the products they flogged. Whatas behind this corporate nostalgia?
Steam trains, tuberculosis, sexual repression, the shadow of a coming war and Colin Firth: the stuff of a period piece was once unchanging. But history is not what it was. Now conjuring the past on screen means 8-bit graphics and Money for Nothing. And Adam Driver and Greta Gerwig will do a synchronised bop before the vintage logos of Pringles and Pepsi.
That last detail comes from the credits of White Noise, Noah Baumbachas recent adaptation of the 1985 Don DeLillo novel. The book was, among other things, a droll study of the godly place of brands in the US during the 80s. But two giggly new movies now spotlight the same moment with hindsight. In Air, Ben Affleck directs himself and Matt Damon in the 1984 origin story of the Nike Air Jordan. With Tetris, the scene is four years later: Taron Egerton, star of the rum tale behind the video game, plays the video game designer Henk Rogers, drawing together a collapsing Soviet Union, feral press magnate Robert Maxwell and the marketing department of Nintendo.

One week, someone mentioned an afterparty on the Old Kent Road that started when Londonas most celebrated superclub kicked people out at 9am. aIt was a pub, the Frog and Nightgown, but they had blacked out all the windows so it was eternal night. It was full of characters, people with all sorts of elaborate and exotic clothing, just ready to party. The music was US house a Masters at Work, MK, Smack, Roger Sanchez a but the DJs would pitch it up, so if people had been dancing to 125bpm most of the night, these guys were playing it at 130, 132. That became my addiction, it started to take over the thrill of Ministry of Sound. Youad get to Ministry later and later, so youad have enough energy to last at the Frog and Nightgown.a

The Irish author on the power of Edna OaBrien, Zolaas lust, and struggling with Emily BrontA<<
My earliest reading memory
In her memoir Giving Up the Ghost, Hilary Mantel remembers learning to read at school as a awearisome uphill trail in the company of Dick and Doraa. My mother had taught me to identify some words before I started school but it was in the classroom, in one of the areadersa that had bored young Hilary senseless, that letters and spaces and full stops left the page as code and reassembled in my head to make a story. Exhilarating.
My favourite book growing up
Nina Bawdenas Carrieas War was the book of my childhood. Carrie Willow and I shared an overactive imagination, an eldest childas sense of responsibility and a dependence on hair slides.

Adam Sandler and Jennifer Aniston lift a lazy follow-up to their action-heavy Netflix comedy with genuine movie star charm
The curious wrestle between pratfalls and pathos thatas made Adam Sandleras career so increasingly fascinating has erred toward a win for the latter with age. The aggressive forgettability of his early Netflix deal output slowly faded into something more worthwhile with last yearas surprisingly textured basketball drama Hustle and simultaneously, weave seen the Safdies squeeze out his best work in Uncut Gems (the trio will collaborate again with a new film set in the world of sports memorabilia) and later this year heall star alongside Carey Mulligan in the offbeat sci-fi drama Spaceman. While a total ban on fart jokes is unlikely (heas also set to star in a new Netflix comedy from the director of The Wrong Missy), his 10 for them, one for me ethos is definitely shifting.
Murder Mystery, his most watched Netflix film to date was one that didnat exactly straddle these two halves but made for a more acceptable use of his sillier side, thanks greatly to the appearance of Jennifer Aniston. It was a breezy action comedy about a wannabe detective couple trying to solve a murder while on vacation, a low-stakes Friday night watch with medium rewards. The same could be said about the totally adequate follow-up out this week, so similar in every way that it feels as if weave just clicked aplay next episodea.

If youare wondering whether I can fit a whole apple in my mouth a yes, I can
As a little girl, I used to pore over the Guinness Book of Records every Christmas. My family and I would spend Christmas Day looking at all the brilliant people who were using their unusual quirks and talents for good a whether that involved raising awareness, making people laugh or spreading the idea that ayou are enough as you area. I was in awe.
Flicking through pages of people with special skills and talents was very inspiring to me. I loved seeing so many people celebrated for their gifts and was hopeful that, one day, I would be too. I grew up wanting to become an entertainer. Before the pandemic, I had a day job in medical sales and spent my evenings showing up to acting and singing auditions or comedy open-mic nights. I was also in a band and sang at weddings.

Precipitation has made western US very cold and wet, with one ski lodge declaring snowiest season on record
Over recent months there has been a recurring theme in weather news about how wet and unsettled western parts of the US have been, particularly in the normally sunny state of California.
